Title: The Size of a Force
Post by: Paul Taylor on April 26, 2013, 07:02:13 PM

We got out to the field today to work on the tool shed. I was hoping to get in a few flights afterwards, but the rain and wind moved in at the end of the day. HB~>

We got the roof on the tool shed and I got my two plane out and was hoping the wind would lay down. Fat chance.

Seems like there was some question on my other thread on the size of my Force. Here it is next to my Vector. Wing is a bit wider.

Force designed by Mike Pratt, Vector designed by Randy Smith. (My next Vector gets a pipe!) #^

Paul does the Force fly well?  I have built 3 of the Primary Force and it is non flapped but flies great for elevator only.

Thanks

Mike

Hey Mike,

Hey Paul,
   I had a Primary Force for a while and it flew better than my skills.Unfortunately I performed a non-rulebook manuver(the dreaded figure 9)and it ended up in Splatsville.I think you will like it.Trax

Hi Mike,

I remember watching Ward D. fly his Force several years ago.  It flew very, very well.  I have not seen nor flown a Primary Force, but hear it is a great flyer, too.  The Force is bigger and has flaps which at least points to better performance.

Thanks Bill.  The Primary Force was one great performing plane for not having flaps....Making it larger and adding flaps has got to be a great enhancement.

Jeff, Mike
I do not think they Will add "Figure 9" to the Stunt pattern but Jack Sheeks Called "Crash Landing" in CL Scale at the NATS several years ago.
